Two innocent bystanders were injured Monday when a gunman opened fire at a Tuscaloosa apartment complex, police said.

The victims, a 4-year-old girl and 26-year-old man, were shot while standing outside a building at Forrester Gardens apartments on James I. Harrison Jr. Parkway, Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit assistant commander Lt. Kip Hart said. The girl was treated for a gunshot wound to the leg and released from DCH Regional Medical Center. The man remained there late Monday with a potentially serious neck wound, Hart said.

“The victims do not appear to be the intended targets,” Hart wrote in an email sent late Monday.

Witnesses told police that two acquaintances were involved in an argument before one of them fired into the crowd, Hart said. Investigators were working to positively identify the shooter, he said, and will release information about him today.

The shooting happened at 7:50 p.m. It is the second shooting that injured a young child in a year. Broddrick Hardy, 2 years old at the time, was struck by a bullet fired at the complex on Aug. 1, 2013.
